Back to collectionFixed Unstaking Rules, Uncertain Halving Date
Background: The holiday selloff had just passed, and the group was still calculating staking returns and the approaching emissions halving. Today: A dovish Federal Reserve rate decision gave the market room to breathe, and XAI moved back above USD 0.60. Impact and next steps: Node operators now had a firm rule for planning when to enter or leave a pool.

Background: The holiday selloff had just passed, and the group was still calculating staking returns and the approaching emissions halving. The Night Watchman noticed two discussions getting tangled together: some members disputed the date, while others feared that a pool owner could change how long it took to retrieve a staked key.
Today: A dovish Federal Reserve rate decision gave the market room to breathe, and XAI moved back above USD 0.60. Some members added the totals of the two tokens and calculated that the 1.25 billion threshold for the halving was just over 30 million tokens away. One estimate put it a week away; another said three weeks. The official team also clarified that unstaking waits were set by the contract, not the pool owner: 60 days for a genesis key and 7 days for an ordinary key.
Impact and next steps: Node operators now had a firm rule for planning when to enter or leave a pool. The halving date still depended on when the threshold was crossed, so neither estimate was a schedule. The Night Watchman planned to explain fixed rules separately from individual projections, to keep newcomers from treating a guess as a promise.
